Another nice little site: Forging partnerships

This site highlights the benefits and importance of forming partnerships on all counts - education, family, health care and policy makers. Policy makers don't often understand the intricacies of special needs and special educational needs. Partnerships is known to work!

Something interesting for us all to get familiar with if we are to forge on towards tightening our legislation. Its a great piece of law but from an education perspective.. it can be made more effective.


The classification system of visual impairments, hearing impairments and the broad "learning disabilities" translates crudely in everyday language to : Saying that a "normal" person constitutes either - without legs, without hands or with everything!

Shouldn't we classify visual and hearing impairments simply as SENSORY impairments? and then provide for specific categories based on severity, and dimension?

Anyway... just my two cents worth...
